2 questioned in dumping of possible OD victim

Authorities questioned a man and woman today after police said they were seen disposing the body of a 25-year-old woman who may have died of a drug overdose on the Northwest Side.

The 25-year-old victim apparently was doing drugs with the man and woman at a home in the 3600 block of North Nordica Avenue about 10 a.m., police said.

They said the victim, who lived on the 5700 block of North Melvina Avenue, overdosed and died.

At least one witness saw the man and woman who were with the victim take her body to what police described as an empty lot in the 3400 block of North Rutherford Avenue, less than a mile from the home on Nordica.

Grand-Central Area detectives took the man into custody, and later the woman. No charges had been filed as of Wednesday evening.

The official cause of the victim's death was unknown this evening. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.
